T) JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY September 8th, 192 5, forty-two students enrolled as Juniors in V. H. S. This class was practically the same that had enrolled as Freshmen three years before. Eighteen have dropped out of our class in the three years, while but two students have entered. Earl Martin, who started as a Freshman with us, is being graduated this year. I SW ASTIKI AN As all Freshmen are, we were very green, but this green matter ripened rapidly as the days passed. Before the second semester was over. Mr. Linville impressed on our minds the necessity of electing class officers. This was done, Helen Miller being elected President, and Kelsey Smith Secretary-Treasurer. The school year soon closed, with a big Sophomore-Freshman picnic at Overlook Park. The next year, our ranks somewhat thinned by the Freshman Battle, we entered as Sophomores. The previous year’s experience had taught us many things, and so, taking advantage of our earlier mistakes, we elected class officers immediately. The election results were: James Urquhart, President, and William Reed, Secretary-Treasurer. They conducted the affairs of the class in a very satisfactory manner. The class being more concerned in the welfare of V. H. S., gave a market for the benefit of the Athletic Association. It went over big, and we turned over $4 3 to the Athletic Association. “One good deed by the Sophomores”. The Sophomores were represented in all the athletic activities of the High School. We had our stars in athletics, heroes in operetta, Carusos in the Glee Clubs, and villains in the Dramatic Club. At the end of the school year our class picnic was held at Edgewater Park. Our Junior Class of this year, realizing the task which lay before them, started with plenty of pep to publish a bigger and better Annual. Now that it is nearing completion, our ambitions have been gratified. But, as Juniors, we have found many other things to do. The Junior Reception must be given in a finer manner than ever before; also we feel a deeper sense of loyalty when the call for athletic teams is made. Our lesponse has been immediate, and large. We had four members on the Boys’ basketball team, as well as several members on the Girls’ team, and we expect to be well represented in the track meet. We are also beginning to realize the gap we must fill which is being ieft vacant by the Seniors. T went y- six
